All you need to do is unlock it so you can twist it, matching the lines. You don’t need to disassemble it.

I understand you and will go look at the video now 🙂

Are you asking a question?
The forearm invert can work if you have short limbs. It’s not something that everyone should try as it can put a lot of strain on those of us who have long limbs and more leverage to work with.

Most studios offer things like, yoga, pound classes https://poundfit.com/ stretching classes, workouts, chair dance, aerial and really anything you can thing of that allows for more people in a class. Pole is very limiting because of the space it needs.

They sound like great goals. The first thing you need for teaching is passion and it sounds like you have that.
You don’t have to be able to do every move. Here’s what I think makes a great teacher.
You need to be able to modify moves, make them harder or easier along with that you need the awareness to see when someone might need a modification.
You’ll want a good understanding of body mechanics, there are a lot of ways to do this on your own. Look for reputable people to learn from. Remember, just because someone has a large following on social media doesn’t mean they are sharing safe and effective training methods and ideals. Learn the major muscle groups. I have all of this info in the Veena method course!
You don’t need to be certified in pole (those who sell certifications will not be happy I’ve said this). You can be certified and still have no idea what you’re doing. I took the CPR certification I’d say 5 times before I felt I could actually use it! Certs are a great way for a studio to make money and I don’t fault them for that. But from what I’ve seen what you get is not worth the cost. You can learn a ton on your own if you want to. I’ve been doing that my entire fitness career. I was ACE certified for years before I stopped doing the continuing ed to maintain it. I realized that I was not getting my money’s worth with the courses I was taking.
Train your friends and family, ask them if it’s ok that you try out teaching methods on them, that’s how I started.
You don’t need to teach flow, but a lot of students really enjoy the dance part of pole and it’s a great way to get cardio in without feeling like you’re doing cardio!
Start by getting familiar with the fundamentals and go from there! Remember that owning a pole only studio is tough, most places need to offer more than just pole dance to financially make it work.

Full price is still an amazing value

Oh, on sending quick healing vibes! I hurt my low back (shaving our poodle) then re injured it last week, so it’s been super annoying.
You could try sitting in a chair or fit ball against the pole to do the leg raises! The sitting twists are actually killer and a great mod.

Awesome, thanks for the update!
-
Let me know if it helps!

Hi! Here’s a quick tips video I made as there’s not a lot to it but his should help. https://www.instagram.com/reel/COF3VZFhkx7/?utm_medium=copy_link
Something that will really help is to work on your foot/ankle strength! Try this routine 3 times a week to see an improvement! https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5e8cf630-8828-44b3-8749-3f84ac110005

I wear a small. I’m just over 5 foot 7 1/2 inches tall.
-
Hmmm here’s the floor work section https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view_category/Floor_work maybe you’re looking for the crazy legs tutorial?
-
Awesome, I hope it helps!
-
It’s looking good to me! It’s really just a matter of practice. If you feel you lack ankle strength give the foot and ankle routine a try. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5e8cf630-8828-44b3-8749-3f84ac110005 do this 3 times a week to see improvement!
-
No. There is not a lesson for that move.🤷
-
There are a lot of different names for moves, can you post a vid of someone doing it. I’m assu6its like a reverse grab lifting into Ayesha?
-
Did my suggestions help?
-
So, when you first move into the inside leg hang is looks great. The majority of the grip should be the thigh. Opening the hip will only be secure and comfortable if you move into long scorpio and drop and turn your torso away from the pole like shown in min 5:08 https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5f1f9d00-94a0-4c63-9b9e-0f34ac110005
So the shifting (opening the knee out to the side) is detrimental to this pose. I think I mention in the lesson how it’s much like a tuck hip hold. Keep working on the hip hold and scorpio and the skin will get use to the pole pressing on it.

Just copy and paste a link or upload a video on the video uploader here…you cont directly upoad to a discussion
-
The best way to help would be if you could upload a video. Otherwise the only advice I can offer is what you’ve heard in the video lesson for it here. Trouble shooting is more accurate with a video 🙂
-
Thank you! I’ve got a few other things to finish up, but I’m excited to start filming the new flexy stuff!
